Adaptive optics based on machine learning: a review
Youming Guo, Libo Zhong, Lei Min, Jiaying Wang, Yu Wu, Kele Chen, Kai Wei, and Changhui Rao
Adaptive optics techniques have been developed over the past half century and routinely used in large ground-based telescopes for more than 30 years. Although this technique has already been used in various applications, the basic setup and methods have not changed over the past 40 years.

Although this technique has already been used in various applications, the basic setup and methods have not changed over the past 40 years. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, adaptive optics will be boosted dramatically. In this paper, the recent advances on almost all aspects of adaptive optics based on machine learning are summarized. The state-of-the-art performance of intelligent adaptive optics are reviewed. The potential advantages and deficiencies of intelligent adaptive optics are also discussed.Adaptive optics techniques have been developed over the past half century and routinely used in large ground-based telescopes for more than 30 years.

Dual bound states in the continuum enhanced second harmonic generation with transition metal dichalcogenides monolayer
Peilong Hong, Lei Xu, and Mohsen Rahmani
The emergence of two dimensional (2D) materials has opened new possibilities for exhibiting second harmonic generation (SHG) at the nanoscale, due to their remarkable optical response related to stable excitons at room temperature. However, the ultimate atomic-scale interaction length with light makes the SHG of TransiThe emergence of two dimensional (2D) materials has opened new possibilities for exhibiting second harmonic generation (SHG) at the nanoscale, due to their remarkable optical response related to stable excitons at room temperature. However, the ultimate atomic-scale interaction length with light makes the SHG of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) monolayers naturally weak. Here, we propose coupling a monolayer of TMDs with a photonic grating slab that works with doubly resonant bound states in the continuum (BIC). The BIC slabs are designed to exhibit a pair of BICs, resonant with both the fundamental wave (FW) and the second harmonic wave (SHW). Firstly, the spatial mode matching can be fulfilled by tilting FW's incident angle. We theoretically demonstrate that this strategy leads to more than four orders of magnitude enhancement of SHG efficiency than a sole monolayer of TMDs, under a pump light intensity of 0.1 GW/cm2. Moreover, we demonstrate that patterning the TMDs monolayer can further enhance the spatial overlap coefficient, which leads to an extra three orders of magnitude enhancement of SHG efficiency. These results demonstrate remarkable possibilities for enhancing SHG with nonlinear 2D materials, opening many opportunities for chip-based light sources, nanolasers, imaging, and biochemical sensing.

All-dielectric χ(2) metasurfaces: recent progress
Carlo Gigli, and Giuseppe Leo
Optical metasurfaces, i.e. arrays of nanoantennas with sub-wavelength size and separation, enable the manipulation of light-matter interactions in miniaturized optical components with no classical counterparts. Six decades after the first observation of the second harmonic generation (SHG) in bulk crystals, these devicOptical metasurfaces, i.e. arrays of nanoantennas with sub-wavelength size and separation, enable the manipulation of light-matter interactions in miniaturized optical components with no classical counterparts. Six decades after the first observation of the second harmonic generation (SHG) in bulk crystals, these devices are expected to break new ground in the field of nonlinear optics, shifting the focus from the phase matching approach achieved within long propagation distances to that of near-field resonances interplay in leaky nanocavities. Here we review the recent progress in SHG with all-dielectric metasurfaces. We discuss the most used technological platforms which underpinned such advances and analyze different SHG control approaches. We finally compare their performances with other well-established technologies, with the hope to delineate the current state-of-the-art and figure out a few scenarios in which these devices might soon offer unprecedented opportunities.Optical metasurfaces, i.e. arrays of nanoantennas with sub-wavelength size and separation, enable the manipulation of light-matter interactions in miniaturized optical components with no classical counterparts.

It consists of a thermally-tunable ultra-high-Q resonator aiming at ultrahigh resolution and an array of wideband resonators for achieving a broadened working window. The present on-chip spectrometer has a footprint as compact as 0.35 mm2, and is realized with standard multi-project-wafer foundry processes. The measurement results show that the on-chip spectrometer has an ultra-high resolution ?λ of 5 pm and a wide working window of 10 nm. The dynamic range defined as the ratio of the working window and the wavelength resolution is as large as 1940, which is the largest for on-chip dispersive spectrometers to the best of our knowledge. The present high-performance on-chip spectrometer has great potential for high-resolution spectrum measurement in the applications of gas sensing, food monitoring, health analysis, etc. A compact spectrometer on silicon is proposed and demonstrated with an ultrahigh resolution.
